You could write a short play with the kids. This will let them be creative and act out all of their extra energy! And, if the parents return early enough, you can put on the play in a performance for the parents.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Ask the kids to choose a story. They could do a story they know or they could write one!

2. Decide on who will play each character. You’ll want to make sure each child feels like he or she gets a chance to act out something fun.

3. Decide on how the story will end.
